- What can you tell us?
- No comment.
- Was it the Great Train Robbery gang?
- That's confidential.
What came of your meeting at number 10?
We are bringing in someone
to take command of the investigation.
- An outsider?
- Well... yes.
Isn't that a slap on the face
for Scotland Yard?
One must overlook such considerations
as to whose nose is out of joint.
- Even if it is one's own nose?
- No comment.
When do you expect this man to arrive?
- Inspector Clouseau?
- Shh!
Weaver, your opposite number.
- Shockley, Special Branch.
- Hello...
Keep your voice down.
I'm on a secret mission.
We have a car waiting.
- I have not yet cleared Customs.
I'm no "vip" and must go through
Customs like any French tourist.
- Sir, I assure...
- That is my cover, you fool.
- Anything to declare?
- No, I'm just a typical French tourist
- on a humble English vacation.
- Passport and debarking ticket, please.
Yes, of course.
It's right here. I never travel without...
- Come along, sir.
- You have not yet seen my passport!
I have this! Hey, look at this!
Don't grab me...
I think it only fair to say...
.. that your being brought in on this case
was not my idea.
- You are too modest.
- The Prime Minister insisted.
As head of the law-enforcing establishment,
I regard your presence
as a vote of no confidence.
I, though, am extremely confident.
- Not over-confident, I trust.
- No. Not over-confident.
Good. I'm glad to hear that.
The 2,5 million pounds stolen...
.. in our Great Train Robbery are being used as
operating capital for a more ambitious crime.
We are dealing with very greedy people.
Greedy and ruthless. You are the fourth
to be placed in charge in six months.
has had a run of unfortunate luck.
Despite our unfortunate luck...
.. we have apprehended a dozen of
the gang, including three of their top men.
I'll show you.
You may well be acquainted
with some of them.
Yesterday, two of them escaped from
prison. One of them was Frenchy Lebec.
It's a familiar face.
The other was Steve Frey. The one
remaining in custody is Addison Steele.
I'll question the pleasant-looking Mr. Steele.
Don't be fooled by his looks.
He can spot a detective a mile away.
But then you don't look
much like a detective.
I try not to.
Good.
I don't have to tell you
that in our line of work...
-.. anonymity is a virtue.
- Any fool knows that.
Anonymity is next to cleanliness and
I don't have to tell you what that's next to.
I have to tell you that we have discovered
a security leak in this department.
- In this department?
- That is why you are here.
The thought was...
.. since you couldn't be the traitor,
we can trust you. But you...
But you must trust no one.
- The viper in our bosom could be anyone.
- Anyone? I suspect everyone.
You will report only to me.
And what makes you think I trust you?
- Be right with you.
- Don't rush.
Don't worry. I never do.
There.
Now, like I said,
if you just comb it out every morning,
you'll still have movement round the face.
You see...
I said I'd be right with you.
And I said, "Don't rush."
And I said, "Don't worry. I never do."
That's excellent, Steele.
Excellent. I like that very much.
- You missed your vocation.
- Glad you like it.
You do a marvellous job.
- You call that a prison haircut?
- Special privileges.
The warden and I are as thick as thieves.
This favouritism,
how long has it been going on?
- 22 years.
- So you murdered your paediatrician.
